Hello to all present and past members of Squadron 3. I would like to thank Josh and Ralph for putting this site together; it has been a trip down memory lane.

I was a member from 69 to '73 and the experience was life altering. I earned my private license before entering the Army as an Air Traffic Controller in 74. I received my MEL/COMM/INSTRUMENT while in service and exited the Army landing a corporate flying job in North Carolina. Flying for several corporations I then sold aircraft for Cessna in Hickory and Fayetteville, NC. In 84 I sold an old 56 310B to a hotel developer on St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands and he asked if I could stay and set up an FBO. I said yes. That was 20 years ago and I just concluded my flying career a couple years back flying a King Air E90 throughout the Caribbean, Mexico, and Alaska. I presently have a wedding business in St. Thomas/St. John and my other home in Asheville, NC and have access to a Baron 58, which I tool around from time to time

Kittyhawk Air Explorer Squadron 3 and Ralph Truglio started my career in aviation and Ill always be grateful for the experience and comradeship. It would be great to hear from some of you guys and gals from the past to see how your lives have panned out.
